Ellis weak as pee bit rough.

From what I've seen arnot is not ready.
Ellis would be the most scared AFL player, old or young, I have ever seen. I'm not trying to be a wanker, and I don't take pleasure in saying it but IMO it's true. Hopefully he will change because we need our first draft pick from last year to be a good player going forward.. He has been gifted games since he arrived at the club. Anyway as I said, I hope he can prove me wrong.

Didnt you see his spoil against Nick when he came on against the Saints.  Showed plenty of courage if you ask me..

Well Conca is another blow.. I expected Helbig to play Morris' Role, Vlastuin to play Concas.

Batch for Chaplin if he can't play and thats it.

i would have thought Helbig would play Conca's, he's been playing it for VFL.

I didn't see it but im sure I'll watch that game again a few more times this year and I'll look out for it. As I said, I really don't take pleasure in saying what I said and I hope he can turn it around.

so most likely 4 forced changes.
inj king - conca - chaplin, rubbed out  morris.

like for like replacements would be.
king - nahas
conca - vlastuin.
chaplin - griffiths you dont replace 195cm/100kg defenders with 188/87kg mediums in batchelor. keep the structure ffs.
morris - helbig

would be looking at at least 2 other changes
petterd - dea or batchelor.
vickery - stephenson. would be giving ivan a lot more time forward and giving orren a decent go in the ruck.

Cant see Helbig playing on Ballantyne he's a hard at it midfielder not a back pocket. 

Batch to come in. Freo doesnt have a tall forward line so i wouldnt bring in Griff

Mayne, Walters and Ballantyne are the goal kickers with Kepler floating in as well..  Thats a very small structure apart from Kepler.  They will aim to scrum goals with their midfielders. 

So who takes who,  my thoughts are Kepler - Rance,  Grimes - Mayne, Walters - Batch,  Ballantyne ??  maybe Newman or Petterd  but i'd bring in Matty White to tag him..

stress reaction in his foot. Out for 4-6 weeks.

Chaplin out as well this week according to the Herald-Sun. So that's now 3 forced changes.


Steven Morris will miss Friday night's clash against Fremantle through suspension while defender Troy Chaplin has not recovered from concussion.

Their absence is likely to open the door for Nick Vlastuin, Richmond's top pick at last year's draft, to make his AFL debut.

Robin Nahas and former Kangaroo Aaron Edwards are also chances to play the Dockers.

You gotta take into account their structure and other injuries. Griff didn't play because he was injured, and Batch can play tall, especially on Mayne seeing they are the same height. It's not all about structure
